Welcome to RootsChat 

I'm putting this for information only.  I cannot be sure if this is the correct William.

Baptised on 19th April 1756 at Dinton, Wiltshire.  Parents are William and Elizabeth.  This is from a transcript only.

As William was convicted in New Sarum (Salisbury) this looks to be a good possibility.  Distance between Salisbury and Dinton is 8 miles.
